3Safety precautions
Safety precautions
Information for parents
Please read the operating instructions and safety precautions carefully before use.
Explain the content to your children and the hazards associated with using the phone.
Remember to comply with
legal requirements and local
restrictions when using the
phone. For example, in
aeroplanes, petrol stations,
hospitals or while driving.
Mobile phones can interfere
with the functioning of medical
devices such as hearing aids
or pacemakers. Keep at least
20cm/9 inches between phone
and pacemaker. When using
the mobile phone hold it to the
ear which is furthest away from
the pacemaker. For more
information consult your
doctor.
Always keep the phone and
accessories out of reach of
small children.
Small parts such as the SIM
card, dust cap, lens ring and
lens cap as well as the Micro SD
Card can be dismantled and
swallowed by small children.
Do not place the phone near to
electromagnetic data carriers
such as credit cards and floppy
disks. Information stored on
them could be lost.
Do not look directly into the
LED (e.g. flash LED) with
optical magnifiers because of
radiation.
This product complies with
IEC/EN 60825-1 “Safety of
Laser Products” for LED Class
1M products; such products
are safe under reasonably
foreseeable operating
conditions.
Permanent hearing loss may
occur if you use ear- or
headphones at high
volume.You can adapt over
time to a higher volume, which
may sound normal but can be
damaging to your hearing. Set
your volume to a safe level. If
you experience discomfort or
buzzing in your ears, reduce
the volume or discontinue use
of your ear- or headphones.
Ringtones, info tones and
handsfree talking are
reproduced through the
loudspeaker. Do not hold the
phone to the ear when it rings
or when you have switched on
the handsfree function.
Otherwise you risk serious
permanent damage to your
hearing.
Safety precautions4
The mains voltage (V)
specified on the power supply
unit must not be exceeded.
Otherwise the charging device
may be damaged.
The power supply must be
plugged into an easily
accessible AC mains power
socket when charging the
battery. The only way to turn
off the charging device after
charging the battery is to
unplug it.
You may only open the phone
to replace the battery, SIM and
Micro SD Card. You must not
open the battery under any
circumstances. All other
changes to this device are
strictly prohibited and will
invalidate the guarantee.
The phone may cause
interference in the vicinity of
TV sets, radios and PCs.
Use only original accessories.
This will avoid potential risks
to health or property and
ensure compliance with all
relevant regulations.
All electrical and electronic
products should be disposed of
separately from the municipal
waste stream via designated
collection facilities appointed
by the government or the local
authorities.
This crossed-out wheelie bin
symbol on the product means
the product is covered by the
European Directive
2002/96/EC.
The correct disposal and
separate collection of your old
appliance will help prevent
potential negative
consequences for the
environment and human
health. It is a precondition for
re-use and recycling of used
electrical and electronic
equipment.
For more detailed information
about disposal of your old
appliance, please contact your
local council, waste disposal
service or the shop where you
purchased the product.
5Safety precautions
Bluetooth
®
Your phone has a Bluetooth interface. This
makes it possible to establish a wireless
connection with your phone and a headset,
car kit, or other Bluetooth-enabled devices.
In order to establish a secure link between
the devices and to prevent a third party
from having access to your phone, you
should observe the following points:
• The initial connection between two
devices, what is called "pairing", should
take place in familiar surroundings.
• Both devices must be able to identify
themselves one time by using a
password/PIN. To ensure sufficient
security, you should choose a 16-digit
number combination for a password that
would be difficult to guess (if a PIN has
not been assigned).
• An automatic connection acceptance
("connection without confirmation")
should only be used in exceptional cases.
• In general, only trustworthy devices
should be linked in order to minimise
security risks.
• You should restrict the "visibility" of your
phone if possible. This will make it much
more difficult for unknown devices to
establish a connection with your phone.
To do this, in the Bluetooth menu, set the
option Discoverable from Yes to No
(page 35).
• The name of your phone is transmitted in
a Bluetooth connection. The factory
default is the "BENQ EF71". The first time
Bluetooth is activated, or later in the
Bluetooth menu, you can change this
name (page 36).
• If Bluetooth is not needed, this function
should be deactivated.
Before using Bluetooth accessories, or a
mobile phone inside a vehicle, check the ve-
hicle user guide for any limitations on the
use of these products.
• Only use original batteries
and charging devices.
Otherwise you risk serious
damage to health and
property (battery explosion,
for instance).
• All batteries can cause
property damage, injury or
burns if a conductive
material, such as, jewellery,
keys or beaded chains touch
exposed terminals. The
material may complete an
electrical circuit and become
quite hot. Exercise care in
handling any charged
battery, particularly when
placing it inside your pocket,
purse or other container with
metal objects. Your batteries
are supplied with a protective
cover. Please attach this
cover to your batteries when
detached from the phone and
not in use.
• Do not dispose of batteries in
fire as they may explode.
Improper use will invalidate the
guarantee! These safety instructions also
apply to original accessories.
As mobile devices offer a range of
functions, they can be used in positions
other than the head, such as directly on the
body. In this case, the limits are met too.
